| 1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. |
|
| Save [for] Jehovah who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say), |
|
| 2 Save [for] Jehovah who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us, |
|
| 3 Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us, |
|
| 4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul, |
|
| 5 Then passed over our soul had the proud waters. |
|
| 6 Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth. |
|
| 7 Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped. |
|
| 8 Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth! |
